Are Tar Heels Looking At An Early Exit?

Posted Mar 13, 2009
The Hokies and Tar Heels met just last week with UNC prevailing in Blacksburg. With a No. 1 seed all but wrapped up, I could see Roy Williams resting some starters more than usual in this game, especially Ty Lawson. The Hokies have some confidence back now with a convincing win over Miami on Thursday. I think Virginia Tech plays like they are barreling through a wall while North Carolina handles this game with kid gloves. (Bleacher Report)
